but it's looking like some mundane reason.

One can only hope.

It appears that every airline diversion for the next 100 years or so will now be under this type of scrutiny, thanks to these f*cking terrorists.

I know it's for an obvious good reason, but they really did win, in a sick kind of way. Didn't they?

Yes, in a way they did. I totally support taking no chances with disruptive passengers and exercising perhaps undue caution. We have to. Maybe it would help reduce the incidents if there was no alcohol on airflights. Also, if there were a sky marshall (or armed crew member) on the flight, perhaps he/she could exercise personal discretion in restraining the unruly passenger for the scheduled duration of a flight without diverting or detaining the flight?

Depends on the meaning of 'win'. . .

Think of it as kind of a glass-half-empty vs a glass-half-full, observation/experience. . .
